Hey there, time traveller!

One person was sent to hospital after an ATV caught fire in a ditch along Highway 457 on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency crews arrived at the scene near CFB Shilo at approximately 2:15 p.m., but a responding officer from the RM of Cornwallis Police said it is unclear how the fire had started.
Chief Constable Darwin Drader was doing a routine patrol when he happened upon the scene and started helping direct traffic around the incident.
"A lot of people were driving by and happened to see it and stopped," Drader said.
There was one occupant in the ATV, but Drader was unsure about the extent of the victim’s injuries.
"He’s got some burns, but I don’t know the extent of it since EMS looked after it," he said.
STARS Air Ambulance was dispatched from Winnipeg to assist with the situation around 2:30 p.m.
